Watch a Clip From The Wound, a South African Film About Tradition and Masculinity

In John Trengove's first feature, The Wound, sensitive factory worker Xolani (played by Toure), must guide young Kwanda through an age-old rite of passage into manhood. Kwanda must learn about his own identity while also learning about Xolani's sexuality.

The Wound premiered at Sundance and won the jury prize at Outfest, Los Angeles's LGBT film festival. It opens today at Film Forum in New York City and September 8 at the Laemmle Royal in L.A.
